Styling

The styling can be done using styled-components, by passing a custom className and style it directly through css or by using the customStyles prop.

Example using styled-components

import Slider from "react-basic-slider";

...

const CustomSlider = styled(Slider)`
  button{
    background: red;
  }
`;

...

return(
  <CustomSlider>
    <div style={{background: 'red'}}>a</div>
    <div style={{background: 'green'}}>b</div>
    <div style={{background: 'blue'}}>c</div>
  </CustomSlider>
);

Example using customStyles prop

import Slider from "react-basic-slider";

...

const slidesContainerStyles = {};
const mainContainerStyles = {
  background: "#e9e9e9",
  borderRadius: "10px",
  padding: "30px",
  ">p": {
    padding: "10px"
  }
};
const navigationContainerStyles = {};
const navigationButtonsStyles = {
  background: "#ccc",
  borderRadius: "1px",
  margin: "0 5px"
};
const arrowsContainerStyles = {};
const leftArrowStyles = {
  background: "grey"
};
const rightArrowStyles = {
  background: "grey"
};

...

return(
  <Slider
    customStyles={{
      mainContainer: mainContainerStyles,
      slidesContainer: slidesContainerStyles,
      navigationContainer: navigationContainerStyles,
      navigationButtons: navigationButtonsStyles,
      arrowsContainer: arrowsContainerStyles,
      leftArrow: leftArrowStyles,
      rightArrow: rightArrowStyles
    }}>
    <div style={{background: 'red'}}>a</div>
